OCZ Launches Vertex 460 SSD Under Toshiba Banner

As you may be aware, OCZ ran into some major financial issues after their former CEO Ryan Peterson made some, shall we say, risky decisions with the way they priced their products. After filing for bankruptcy, they were picked up by Toshiba, and a new brand was formed – OCZ Storage Solutions. Their first product since being bought by Toshiba is the Vertex 460.

The Vertex 460 is aimed at the mainstream market, and is based on their own Barefoot 3 controller. This is the same controller used in the OCZ Vector, among other products. It is paired up with Toshiba’s 19nm MLC flash. Interestingly, they aren’t using toggle flash, which is the main type of flash Toshiba is known for.
